Shock and awe for Harry and his brother in September 1997, when Diana was killed in a Paris car crash and Britain erupted in an outpouring of grief. Harry, then nearly 13, with his father and brother, is moved, along with the rest of the country, at the sea of floral tributes left for his mother outside Kensington Palace.

The young royals are known to dislike the paparazzi and Harry is no exception. But sometimes he fights back, as in this instance, outside an exclusive London nightclub in the early hours of Oct. 21, 2004. Prince and pap were slightly injured.

A low point for Harry: When he wore a Nazi swastika on his arm for a costume party in January 2005. The British tabloid "The Sun" printed the picture just as the royal family prepared to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Holocaust. Harry, then 20, apologized profusely.

When his father and Camilla Parker Bowles married in April 2005, Harry was there for the small civil wedding at Windsor's town hall, and for the reception hosted by the queen at Windsor Castle. He also helped decorate the going-away car.

In August 2012, just before deploying to Afghanistan, Harry went to Las Vegas where he got naked playing pool at a party. Another guest snapped cellphone pictures which were published online. Harry apologized, saying later that it was a case of behaving too much like a pilot about to deploy and not enough like a prince.

Harry's African children's charity, Sentebale, is close to his heart, along with the country of Lesotho and its heir, Prince Seeiso, who co-founded the charity. Here, he visits Kananelo Center for the deaf in Lesotho in February 2013.

Chris Christie.

The campaign against landmines couldn't have asked for a better patron than Princess Diana, until Harry took up the cause. In August 2013, he went to Angola to inspect the work of the Halo Trust, touring minefields and and checking out the damage that mines can do.

Everyone looks great with Sydney Harbor in the backdrop. Harry was dressed to impress in military whites during a two-day trip to Australia in October 2013 to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy's fleet arriving into Sydney.

A different kind of low point for Harry, at the bottom of the world in Antarctica. That's him, one of the leaders teams of wounded warriors from four nations on a race to reach the South Pole in December 2013.

Harry's affinity for the little ones is one of his endearing characteristics. Here, in Santiago, Chile, in June 2014, he met little Matias Gonzalez at a kindergarten for indigenous children, during a week in Brazil and Chile.

When Kate Middleton joined the royal family, Harry said he finally had the sister he always wanted. With brother Will, they make for a tight trio of young royals. Harry has recently been linked to former beauty queen Camilla Thurlow, but so far he has not been snapped with her. However, he, Kate and Will are always together, as here in Belgium for a WWI commemorations in August 2014.

Harry visited an art installation at the Tower of London featuring nearly 900,000 ceramic poppies, representing the British and Commonwealth troops who died.

Ivanka Trump says she tries to stay out of politics

In an interview with "Fox and Friends" that aired Monday, President Donald Trump's daughter said she tries to "leave the politics to other people and really lean into the issues that I care deeply about."

Trump praised her father, saying "his political instincts are phenomenal."

Trump has focused on several policy issues, including paid family leave. Last week, she visited lawmakers on Capitol Hill for talks on those issues. Advancing parental leave in the Republican-controlled Congress is considered highly unlikely, but winning some family-oriented tax changes are possible

Trump stepped away from roles at the Trump Organization and running her eponymous lifestyle brand to take the unpaid role in the administration.

Sheen selling Babe Ruth's World Series ring

Babe Ruth's 1927 World Series ring is up for auction on Lelands.com and with still plenty of time to bid on it, bidding has already gone to more than $500,000.

Actor Charlie Sheen was the owner of these two items who put them up for bid, ESPN reported.

"I've enjoyed these incredible items for more than two decades and the time has come," Sheen told ESPN. "Whatever price it brings is gravy."

Ruth hit .400 in the 1927 series, with two homers and seven RBI, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-0 sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

That was the year that Ruth set the regular-season home run record of 60 that wasn't broken until Roger Maris' 61 in 1961. Ruth had 165 RBI that season and batted .356.

This was one of the all-time great teams and seasons in baseball history.

The bidding for the contract for sending Ruth to New York had already reached $345,000.

Sheen told ESPN that the items were purchased in the early '90s, and that he displayed them in a bar area in his house.

Dali's body to be exhumed in paternity suit

The surrealist artist Salvador Dalí must be chuckling in his grave. Or raging.

A Spanish judge on Monday ordered the remains of the famous (and infamous) artist to be exhumed to settle a paternity suit, despite opposition from the state-run foundation that manages the artist's estate.

Dalí, one of the fathers of the art movement known as Surrealism, died in 1989 and is buried in his museum in Figueres, where he was born, in the northeastern region of Catalonia. The museum is one of the most visited in Spain.

Pilar Abel, a tarot-card reader from the nearby city of Girona who was born in 1956, says she is the offspring of an affair between Dalí and her mother, Antonia.

At the time of the alleged affair, Dalí was married to the woman he considered his muse, Gala, who died seven years before the painter. Gala had a daughter from an earlier marriage but the couple had no children of their own. Upon his death, at age 84, Dalí left his considerable estate to the Spanish state.

On Monday, a Madrid court statement said that tests with DNA from Dalí's embalmed body were necessary because there were no other existing biological remains with which to make a genetic comparison.

Abel's court litigation started in 2015 when she sued the Ministry of Finance, as the trustee of Dalí's estate, and the Gala Dalí Foundation that was created to administer it.

"What she wants is to have a result of the tests with full guarantee in order to finish with this as soon as possible," Abel's lawyer, Enrique Blanquez, told The Associated Press.

If there's a match, Abel could use Dalí as her surname and pursue further legal action to claim her rights over the artist's work and property, which according to regional laws could amount to 25% of all of the estate.
